Any thoughts on making flutter modular certified so it can be included in other products? Really the only things required for this are filling out an extra form and putting a shield over the transceiver. This would really be a huge advantage and gateway to volume orders.

This is an excellent question, and one I haven't asked the certification house about since we started the campaign. I just sent them a message asking about it, so we'll see if I need to do anything extra for that. We do plan on selling to manufacturers to include Flutter in a final product, so module certification is important. I've been focusing so much on RF parameters that module things slipped my mind.

So I see there is no shielding on the final hardware. I guess this means you are applying for limited modular certification, which is sort of a gray area as far as dropping into other products without a full retest.

Yeah, the design never originally had room for the metal can, and it wasn't until things really got locked down that I saw that the metal can is in fact a hard requirement for modular certification and not just a recommendation.

For now a full re-test will be involved, but with the performance we saw when we tested you can rest assured it will pass. We will provide assistance to anyone getting certified. Hopefully in the future we will have other hardware options that can include modular certification.

Well i'm not sure that it requires a full ground perimeter so it could have still worked with a few attachment points. But it will still have limited modular certification, right? Can you post the FCC id?
